I currently have 1 stick 512mb pc2700 mushkin and 1 stick 256mb offbrand pc3200, will this create problems? So far everything runs fine.
 
I have done it many, MANY times and never had any problems.
The biggest things to remember that I know of are these:

All the ram will perform at the speed of the slowest stick
Some ram sticks have been found to not play well together, possibly only in some systems.

I have not really followed any of the issues close enough to know more- as I said, I've never had a problem.

The machine I am on now has three 256mb sticks- I think they are two matching 3200s and a 2700...but its been so long I am not certain of the speeds. ;)

But I know there is a mis-match.
